Toshiba R15 In The House!

  Actually John and I both picked one up last week and I have been converted to the Tablet Side of the Force.  Ink is amazing.  The day you get your Tablet, note taking becomes fun and organized for once.  With paper, it lands on your desk, gets rinkled, and if your like me, without a proper folder, you can't remeber what the notes were actually for.  OneNote solves all those problems. 

Unlike other Tablets (1st and 2nd Gen), this one screen is actually the size of a piece of paper, so its not to small.  The built in DVD/CDRW will be nice for DVDs in flight because if the person sitting in front of me decides to lean back, I don't have to put the base of the Tablet on my stomach, just flip and I have a flat LCD.  The default RAM is lacking, but its $139 on crucial.com for a stick of 1GB.  This has definitely been my best Laptop purchase thus far.
